The door bell sounded .loudly
through the apartment.
Karen stirred, but she did not
open her eyes. He walked into the
foyer and opened the door. A man
was there, his hat pulled down over
his eyes. Dick backed up a little,

“I want my daughter, where is
she?" he said in a low voice. His
eyes blazed.
“Be quiet. She’s Ihere—asleep.”
Mallory brushed Dick aside and
strode into the living room. His
eyes fell on Karen, sleeping by’the
fire. He stopped, whirled on Dick.
“I ought to shoot you down!"
Dick did not answer, but he no

“She has had trouble enough al
